Coin Collecting NewsCirculated Values Higher
Demand is pushing up values for circulated coins virtually across the board. Exceptions include circulated early commemoratives, those minted between 1892 and 1954, and, of course, coins struck after the silver era ended in 1964.
The market price of silver bullion has pushed up values for silver coins such as dimes, quarter dollars, half dollar and dollars. But in addition to climbing silver values, real demand from collectors is being experienced for these relatively inexpensive coins.

Are you stating that commemoratives alone or ALL coins minted between 1892 & 1954 are not in demand? I find it amusing in all that I read (which is quite a lot) dealers swear they will pay well over dealer bid for any of these coins because they can’t find them; the dealers around here aren’t interested in anything a customer has unless it’s gold or enough silver to require a Brinks truck to deliver-at any price!
